          Abstract

          RESUMEN. Introducción y objetivo: El objetivo de este trabajo fue realizar una revisión sistemática acerca del tratamiento del síndrome de túnel carpiano (STC) mediante kinesiotape (KT). Material y Métodos: Se ha realizado una búsqueda bibliográfica en septiembre de 2021 en Cochrane, Medline, PubMed y Cinahl. Resultados: Se encontraron 52 artículos, y 11 cumplieron los criterios de selección establecidos, además de localizaron 2 artículos en la búsqueda manual. En ellos se analiza la mejora del STC en el tratamiento con KT frente a otros tratamientos alternativos no invasivos. Conclusiones: Parece ser que existe evidencia de que el KT puede ser una técnica eficaz para el tratamiento del STC. Sin embargo, debido a las limitaciones de los estudios se necesitan nuevas investigaciones con mayor número de pacientes y seguimientos a largo plazo.

          ABSTRACT Background and aim: The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review of the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) using kinesiotape (KT). Material and Methods: A literature search was conducted in September 2021 in Cochrane, Medline, PubMed and Cinahl. Results: Fifty-two articles were found, 11 of which met the established selection criteria, and 2 articles were located in the manual search. They analyze the improvement of CTS in KT treatment versus alternative non-invasive treatments. Conclusion: there appears to be evidence that KT may be an effective technique for the treatment of CTS. However, due to the limitations of the studies, further research with larger numbers of patients and long-term follow-up is needed.

          Pathophysiology of carpal tunnel syndrome

          Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common median nerve neuropathy, accounting for 90% of all neuropathies. Carpal tunnel syndrome presents in 3.8% of the general population, with a higher prevalence among women. There are several risk factors associated with CTS, including both medical and non medical factors. The pathophysiologic mechanisms involved in the median nerve compression and traction are thought to be complex, and as yet are not fully understood. The present review aimed to provide an overview of the pathophysiology of median nerve neuropathy in the carpal tunnel, and subsequent development of CTS.

            Diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of the carpal tunnel syndrome: a review.

            The carpal tunnel syndrome is a compressive neuropathy with high incidence rates, and its correct diagnosis, treatment and follow-up may lead to significant benefits in healthcare, social and economic terms. In this review, based on systematic review databases and guidelines, we summarise the appropriate indications for the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up, accompanied, whenever possible, by the levels of evidence and strength of recommendations.

              Carpal tunnel syndrome.

              Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common compressive neuropathy in the upper extremity. The condition is responsible for substantial annual costs to society, both in terms of lost productivity and the costs of treatment. Accurate diagnostic criteria, the selection of treatment strategies based on high-level evidence, and outcomes data have been inconsistent despite the prevalence of the condition. The increased awareness of the need for evidence-based practice guidelines has, however, yielded important data to guide treatment of CTS. Evidence-based guidelines for diagnosis and treatment have been developed and should direct the treatment of CTS. Copyright 2010. Published by Elsevier Inc.
